This journey cannot ever be forgotten as I got an opportunity to meet several renowned scholars, one of whom was Pt. Sureshwar Jha and it was he who inspired the people of Thadhi village to do something noticeable in sight of the world to let people know your generosity – the richness of your ancient people, like Vachaspati Mishra who elaborately defined Brahma Sutra and dedicated the book to his devoted wife Bhamati. And, likewise the people of this great village started an inspirational journey by deciding to make the sculpture of great Vachaspati. It was the ceremony of unveiling the sculpture of Vachaspati on 16th March 2016. That day Pt. Sureshwar Jha expressed gratitude to the sons of Thadhi for doing this great work. He had very clearly stated that there were more two Vachaspatis in Mithila and he even named their villages, birth-places, work-places and gave a call to the people of those places to think in similar way Thadhi’s sons have done by installing a great memorable depiction of Vachaspati in their village. By doing this, the village has been well brought to the map of world’s renowned places where great scholars are/were born. Pt. Jha in his 90’s smiled and said, “If I remain alive, I will also see those villages have Vachaspati’s memorable depiction installed in their villages too.”
